Happy 2012! 
 
The new year is in full swing and thanks to labs around the world, we've added lots of new plasmids to the collection over the past few months. Check out some of the highlights in our Hot Plasmids section. Also, our most commonly asked lentiviral questions are answered in this month's featured technique. Finally, we are excited to be heading to Chicago for AACR next week-  hope to see you there!
